The Blues boss laid into Hazard after the winger appeared to question his side’s tactics in their semi-final defeat by Atletico Madrid.

Mourinho initially claimed Hazard’s comments were taken out of context, but in the end admitted: “Normally you get this kind of comment from players like him, from players who can’t resolve a problem like we had with the first goal.

“He’s not the kind of player ready to sacrifice himself 100 per cent for the team and his mates.

“But at the same time, the comments were not critical. I’m not happy, and I have spoken all season and I’ve tried to improve him. Against Atletico in Madrid, Willian played on the left and Ashley Cole was protected.

“Against Liverpool, Andre Schurrle played on the left and a dangerous player like Glen Johnson was completely under control. Eden is the kind of player who is not so mentally ready to look back at his left-back and give his life for him.”

Chelsea were favourites to make the final after a 0-0 draw in Madrid.

But after they took the lead at home through former Atletico hero Fernando Torres their game plan unravelled when the Spaniards equalised just before the break.

“If you see Atletico’s first goal, you understand where the mistake was and why we conceded that goal,” Mourinho said.

“I just say the perfect team at the top level cannot make this kind of mistake.

“Normally, in this game, if you go to half-time winning 1-0, the game is another game. Atletico have to chase the game.

“When the comments come from a player like Eden, it’s normal.”

In the aftermath of the defeat, Hazard said: “Chelsea is not made to play football. We’re good on the counter, a little bit like Real against Bayern.
